About
Gaia, the iconic giant illuminated globe installation by UK artist Luke Jerram will be floating inside St Thomas’ Church between 20 April and 12 May 2024.
Measuring six metres in diameter, Gaia is an internally-lit sphere, 2.1 million times smaller than the real Earth. It has been recreated from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface and each centimetre of the sculpture represents 21km of our planet.
A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture.
The visit has been supported by a partnership of organisations including Net Zero Isle of Man, the Isle of Man Arts Council and headline sponsors Ørsted.
This is a unique chance to see our our precious planet at this scale, rotating in three-dimensions, framed inside St Thomas' magnificent archways and famed Nicholson murals.

Entry will be via the double door entrance on Finch Road. Ramp access is available. The nearest public toilet facilities are at Chester Street or the Villa Marina Arcade.
